"GIvE me ten acres of land under tine Florence canal and will clear over if teen hundred dollars year after the third year." said practical pomologist a few days ago. He had lived for many years in southern Arizona and under stands the capabilities of its soil and the value ot its climate, and after visiting eastern and southern states, and also witnessing the California boom, he has returned to Arizona to make it his home. With the small amount of land above l quoted even better results ctn be achlev- ed with proper effort, and two hundred dollars per acre Is not an unusual return. Ten acres will make q home for family and yield steady net profit that no oth CT investment of like cost can even ap' proximate, and it is the most agreeable and independent of occupations.

NEXT Thursday will be Thanksgiving day and one of the most popular of our exclusively American holidays. It IS observed with feasting and merry making by the general masses of the people and with devout thanksgiving by the good folks that recognize the divine hand Ill all the blessings of life, health and pros perity. We of Arizona, have indeed much to be thankful for and while We enjoy all the comforts that our excep- tionally- blessed land can bestow, we re- fleet with sorrow that the cold frosts and deep snows arc even now piercing the habltations of our friends and kindred Ill tine frozen north and clustering east, to whom brief enjoyment of this lncom. parable weather would indeed be boon We surely have much to be th'nkfu | for.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t affords me
me much pleasure to meet you here to night,
and rejoice with you upon the rapid growth
of and the increased usefulness of our So
ciety. The prospects for the incoming
year are manifestly encouraging. 1 need
not urge upon you the importance of good
society, you are aware that it is power for
either good or evil. This society has hon
ored me with the Presidency, and while 1
am not of the great of the land, l feel re-
sponsible to good society for the influences
that may bring to bear upon those with
whom may come in contact. Why should
not we do something for ourselves in that
onward and upward path? Our ladies' re-
finement, beauty and wit, our gentlemen's
gallantry and intrinsic worth-these to-
gether make grand combination, calculat-
ed to insure success. In augumenting and
securing permanently good society we not
only confer blessing upon those that are
around us, but upon those that we leave te-
hind Society is composed of two cllsscs
as respects moral condition. Every mem
Der of this community will have n position
in one of these classes. You will be intel
useful knowledge, or you will be ignorant
and despised. How important then it is to
yourself. your parents and friends that you
should improve every opportunity TO that
end that you will be loved and respected by
all that know you? Honesty and integrity
are indispensable to all who expect to be
good or great, il will enable you to face the
world unAinchingly, and when the end
comes, to face the Creator with Jut fear. Be
conscientious in all your actions, let it be
said Of You, that you have not blot upon
your escutcheon- You have many things
TO guard against, the greatest Of all is,
perhaps yourselves. Be careful in your
